Descriptions

Unspecified vulnerability in the Java SE component in Oracle Java SE 7u60 and SE 8u5 allows remote attackers to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability via unknown vectors related to Hotspot.

Vulnerabilidad no especificada en el componente Java SE en Oracle Java SE 7u60 y SE 8u5 permite a atacantes remotos afectar la confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad a través de vectores desconocidos relacionados con Hotspot.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of ResourceBundles. The issue lies in insufficient validation of user-supplied data when applying a ResourceBundle. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
